Sunday service times

Each of our team churches meets for Christian worship on Sunday mornings. 

St Ninian's and St Andrew's on Chanterlands Avenue, Hull, gathers at 9.30a.m.

Zion URC on Hallgate in Cottingham, meets at 10.00a.m.

Christ Church on Main Street in Swanland meets at 10.30a.m. 

Worship in these churches is broadly traditional in style, our teaching draws on the liberal tradition. 

Lent Bible Studies 

Simon is organising a series of Bible Studies during Lent. As this is a Team initiative, there will be two sessions in each of our three churches. The Lent series is called ‘Hope in the Wilderness’ and sessions, which began last month, will continue throughout Lent.  Simon would like to encourage people to attend all six, but they will be ‘stand-alone’ sessions so that people who can’t travel or are unable to attend them all aren’t disadvantaged. Sessions will finish no later than 8.30pm.

Smile a while

Last night, I ordered a glass of wine with my meal. The waiter politely asked for my I.D.

I replied, “Do I look that young?” The waiter said, “No – I just wanted to see if you qualified for our Senior Citizen discount.”

 Church Notices that didn't quite 'make it' 

… The preacher for next Sunday can be found hanging on the notice board in the porch. 

Church maintenance is becoming increasingly difficult, so it would be appreciated if parishioners could cut the grass around their own graves. 

 The ladies of the church have cast off clothing of every kind. They may be seen in the Church Hall on Friday afternoon. T

he scouts are saving aluminium cans, bottles and other items to be re cycled. All proceeds will be used to cripple children.                                                                                        

Just a thought 

“You learn to speak by speaking, to study by studying, to run by running, to work by working, and just so, you learn to love by loving. All those who think to learn in any other way deceive themselves.” 

Last month's Puzzler 

 Our new Puzzler feature appears to be quite popular. Each month we offer an easy little puzzle with no prizes. In February the puzzle asked: “If you turn me on my side, I’m everything, but if you cut me in half I’m nothing.” What am I? The answer: The number eight or the infinity symbol. 

March Puzzler This month's puzzle simply asks: What single word goes before each of these words to produce a completely new word? - sing, bag, ring No prizes and the answer next month. School Easter holidays Image courtesy of pngtree.com Most local schools begin their Easter break
